Earlier Chirstmas card with Stencil and A Bird Manly card + PART IV Goodies & Cards from my crafty friends all around the world

I have seen a new challenge at Addicted to Stamp and More with Holiday theme, also I took my Holly Background Artplorations Stencil and started to sponged it with my white ink. After it was dry, I then sponged with green color.

Here is the result of my stenciled paper with that two inks:

For the fruit I colored with red embossing pen and I gave Red Embossing powder on it and embossed it, and I gave more green on that paper :)

I think of a fun sentiment with gingham paper(but my gingham paper is not enough, : (( sad), also what should I do??? I stamped the Hero Arts Sentiment, embossed it with red embossing powder and I try to wrap my circle with gingham washi tape see the photo bellow:

For my second card...I have a special story...I went home today from my office and found some letter for my hubby in post box...annnddd only one for me...I saw the who sent me a post??.....and I was so happy that is from Flo from Flos Habseligkeiten, she sent me the lovely Images from Stamplorations the BIRD one yaaayyy :)....many thanks Flo...here I made a manly card using that Bird you sent me: (As we life in Germany, the post from USA, we can not prediction...it could be a week or if I am not lucky could be 4 weeks till it come to my home)

Here is how I made my paper, I stamped many times that bird house and colored it with my copic marker.

I forgot to made foto after it was finished (Silly me) also here is the paper I made on the card base:

Here is the card I made:

I colored my bird with 3 brown copic marker, I distressed the edge of the DP and for the circle behind the bird too.

Hi Monika. Your Christmas card is truly lovely, and I really admire your ingenuity. You have to be extra clever to make your beautiful card without all the supplies you might want. So glad that my card made it all the way to you, and I hope you enjoy the few extra die cuts I sent your way as well.

I love the way you figured out how to add some gingham to your Christmas card, Monika! It really does add a nice pop to your card! Thanks for sharing it with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!

First...thank you so much for all your sweet comments on my blog, you always are so sweet and make me smile. Now on to your cards...so many fabulous cards, but your sweet home spun Christmas card is so beautiful and I love that you took the time to show us all how you created your magical look. You are one amazing stamper! Love your The Challenge card too...that sweet bird is just adorable! Thank you so much for playing along with us at The Challenge!

All of your cards are so lovely, Monika! I really like how you improvise where you do not have the craft products or supplies. The stencil and gingham washi are great on your Christmas card, love the Bird and Birdhouses stamped so many times.:-)

These are wonderful Monika!!! You are so busy..and I have little energy lately!!!! I see your Christmas card!!!! Love the Christmas stenciling! I EXTRA love your Challenge card with the STAMPlorations bird, those images of the birds they make are so fun!!! And they look watercolory!!!I LOVE how you put so much thought and work into your creations, a real labor of love like me!!! Yay Monika, thanks so much for joining us and your encouragment always is a bright spot in my day!!!!!

THough, your messages do not come in my e-mail.....I am not sure why,. So I only see them once in awhile, so I am not ignoring you.. I just dont see all the messages... HUGS to you Monika, you are a dear heart!!!

I'm so happy you received lots of goodies to play with. I'm always impressed with your background creations and this is no exception. It's much prettier than pattern paper out there. And great coloring on the birdie too. :)Hugs

Gorgeous cards Monika. You know how much I love manly cards and that bird card is fantastic. Love the stamp you were sent - and what patience to stamp all those birdhouses and colour them in so beautifully! Jane

Such a fun post, Monika...I really enjoyed seeing all these gorgeous cards! I love how you inked the stencil and added the sweet gingham pattern on your first card! Your bird is stunning and I love how you created your background with the bird houses...so pretty! Thank you for sharing your lovely cards from your stash...the shiny balloons and fabulous die cuts are beautiful...Looks like you're going to have lots of fun for a long time to come :)Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at ATSM! We always enjoy seeing your creations in the gallery!

What wonderful bloggy friends you have to send you those goodies. Sorry I didn't have time to link up. life has been a little hectic.Your first card is very festive Monika, love the stenciled background and your inventive use of the washi tape! Thanks for sharing with us at STAMPlorations.:)

Oh, your stenciled background is so pretty and I love the extra touches for the berries! I will have to take out some of my stencils and use them after seeing your inspiration! Glad you had a great birthday month and thanks for sharing your cards with us!!! My birthday is this month but I plan to send OUT cards to friends instead of receive them!!

Love the two tone effect through stencil and great use of gingham, looking gorgeous! The second one is a beautiful masculine creation, love the papers and repetition of stamping with a featured bird, a clever creation! I always enjoying your creations! I am glad to see your gifts, Enjoy your goodies!!!

Hello Monika dear! I'm sorry I haven't been able to comment on every post. April has been such a busy month for me and I'm trying to do what I can! I always love stopping by here because you've always got the coolest cards and techniques. Love the sponged holly card and your sketchy bird set is the perfect masculine creation! Awesomeness!

Just love your Christmas card, especially the off-set stenciling you did. Its so effective and looks amazing. Have been wanting to try this myself but the white pigment ink I purchased was a big fail (was from SSS, very disappointed) but have just ordered the same Hero Arts Unicorn as yourself, so hopefully I will get a good result like this. And you know I'm always happy to see you at ATSM!!

Awesome cards, I really like the looks of all the stamping, the Christmas card is wonderful using the tech. we did together. I like the bird card, awesome and again wonderful making your background. Love all the goodies you got from your blog friends. Way to go. You should be set for awhile for sure. Hugs

Hi Monika, great xmas card and I love what you did with the stamplorations kingfisher. I think this bird set is a must have. Love it. Nice to see all the lovely cards from friends around the world. The post delivery time is so inconsistent. Hugz

The inking technique used for the holly background looks dimensional, I'm so impressed, clever use of washi too, I use mine far too seldom, so I appreciate picking up all inspiration I can get.And your bird? Too cute. Fun own made paper with birdhouses. It sure works for a man.

Hello hello hello my friend!! :) Sorry I've been abscent from your blog for a while...just busy, but "good" busy! :) Yeah!! So happy to see you are getting lots of birthday goodies and wishes my friend! You are very deserving of them!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your gingham wrapped frame, such a clever idea!! I also love that fun bird image and your birdhouse background!! VERY cool!! You are so creative my friend!! I thank you so much for joining along with us over at Addicted to Stamps & More! It's always a pleasure to see your designs in the entries!! BIG HUGS
